After interviewing my teacher friend from North Carolina, I realized that most of the data I was writing my research paper on was almost null and void. Since the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, there has been a new curriculum introduced, but again, it is being hamstrung by the politicians. Only time will tell how much has actually changed, but honestly, I doubt much will.
My final paper was turned in on 12/8/14. Its pretty long, but everyone that read it liked it, and some people who only read part of it wanted to read all of it.... As of right now (as I write this) I honestly don't know what grade I got, or the comments on it. Hopefully I'll get it back from my teacher when I see her in the hallways.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy my final paper in English 1113.
